I heard that North Sussex had imposed a hosepipe ban this week. Any
other areas similarly restricted? Can there really be a drought? Or are
the water companies just inefficient?

Anglian Water have announced that there will be no hosepipe bans in
their area in the forseeable future. We have had a lot of very dry
weather locally this year, though we've had some welcome rain in the
past few days.
